When I made some tests on some online tools like these:
1) http://isithacked.com/
2)http://www.webconfs.com/
3) http://www.seotools.com/
Screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/t/HfSKeYOR6v7
it tells me that my site it has cloaking, that means that web crawlers see some stuff that visitors cant see. And this is a big problem because I could be penalized from search engines.
P.S: I posted this topics some days ago, and some guys told me I should update theme, clear cache, update plugins etc… However, I just update my theme from 6.4 to 6.5 and this issue is still.
Waiting for a solution!
Nobody else having this problem I am aware of. Not theme related.
Did you
a) try turning off plugins except VC to determine a bad plugin?
b) did you scan your site with SECURI? – https://sitecheck.sucuri.net// — it found no issues when I just checked.
c) did you check your Google webmaster tools account for alerts about issues? If Google not having an issue, likely a non issue.
d) note some SEO testing tools online are worthless
When I just checked one of your posts you have a popup that floats over page asking to login with Facebook ? That sure isn’t normal (fanbox popup).
Possibly Wordfence code conflict ?
Possible bug in disqus ?

You didn’t need to create new post, you could simply update the original thread.
Upshot – not a theme issue; but issue with something YOU have added to site on top of theme.
Hi Chris. I tried the first thing and not worked.
2) I scanned had no issue found.
3) I got nothing from google webmaster too, no issue
4) Maybe it could be this, I hope 🙂
I don’t understood the last thing you told “””Upshot – not a theme issue; but issue with something YOU have added to site on top of theme.”””?
Hopefully it’s a non issue.
You might do a Google search for the issue, which is usually best thing to do:
e.g.,
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloaked-site
============================
Upshot means “in conclusion” … it’s not a theme issue, so something you have added to your site means things YOU have added like a plugin — the theme doesn’t add plugins to your site, you do.
SO you need to debug what you’ve done to the site that caused the issue. If 10,000 people don’t have an issue, and you do — it’s pretty obvious that something you “added” (meaning, install a plugin, add javascript code, etc.) is causing the issue.
The only way to debug is to turn stuff OFF until you figure out what it is; remove stuff you added like custom javascript loading something from elsewhere, etc.
If something is being “cloaked” by a plugin — whatever that actually means — then it might be an issue, might not be. What is the exact meaning of “cloaked” in this context? For example hiding a menu from desktop, and only showing it for mobile users, might technically be “cloaking” or “hidden” until needed.
If something is hidden “behind” something and not see to visitors but is loaded in the browser, that is a problem as that is how malware is hidden, such as an on click event behind a login box, etc.
Best of luck.
You might do exaxtly what the error says, check the “user agent” for your site.
Check the htaccess file for anything weird, check the HEAD of your page source; check with your hosting provider to make sure site is sending correct headers.
E.g.,
= No cloaking found, = Cloaking found. You may need to check the site for the specific user-agent.
“user agent” is the important note there. The concept of cloaking in this context refers to:
SEO Cloaking Checker
http://www.seotools.com/seo-cloaking-checker/
The SEO Cloaking Checker detects whether a Web site uses "cloaking," a server technique that some sites utilize to try to fool the search engines into awarding rankings the Web pages do not deserve. Cloaking involves showing one version of a Web page to users and a different version, usually stuffed with other keywords, to the search engine spiders. This is a stealth method that Google and the other search engines consider deceptive, since it attempts to bias the spiders into ranking the Web page undeservedly higher or for a different keyword term. We strongly discourage using this type of technique since it is spam, and if detected, could cause your Web site to be penalized in the search engine results.
So, if you have something changing the “user agent” string in your HTML pages, that would be bad; or some wonky thing in your htaccess or robots.txt file — that would be bad.
As far as malware, you can also test with this:

Hello again. I did nothing last days. I have only changed some of my category/pages descriptions and names, and the main description of the home page, also the h1 names on the homepage.
Maybe that’s why is happened, because since last my changes google crawl hasn’t come to visit my site?
P.S: Thank you for your help
